Experimenta nova anatomica, quibus incognitum hactenus chyli receptaculum, et ab eo per thoracem in ramos usque subclavios vasa lactae deteguntur. Ejusdem dissertatio anatomica, de circulatione sanguinis, et chyli motu
A 1700 Amsterdam printing of Jean Pecquet's Latin anatomical treatise on the chyle receptacle and lacteal vessels, issued for physicians and anatomists and preserved by the Wellcome Library. The single plate is a small engraved diagram of two upright tubular forms, one with lettered points and one set in a square block, labelled F.III and keyed to a page reference. A designer might take from it the spare, schematic style of early scientific engraving, with thin contour lines, letter callouts and plain hatching used to explain form.
